History and its great failures.

History has had many WTF’s. This article is going to tell you about them.

1. Although Romans were quite an advanced civilization for their time, they still had very weird and WTF ideas.

The wealthy romans sometimes had a room called the vomitorium. This was a special room used for one reason: vomiting.  While eating their so-called delicious meals, those rich and spoiled romans would eventually get too full to eat any more. When this happened, the roman would go to the vomitorium, have a servant tickle their throat with a feather, making him/her vomit, presumably in a container of some sort (or on the servant, if he/she felt particularly unkind). This made the roman hungry again, so they could resume eating their meal.

The Egyptians (the guys who built the pyramids(the huge triangle things in the desert)) had a very strange burial custom:

They liked to wrap up their corpses with cloth, after taking your brain out by putting a long stick up the nose, twisting it around and pulling it out. The corpse, called a mummy, was then wrapped in wet strips of cloth and put in a case. Maybe thats why zombies like BRRRAAAAAIIINNNNSSSS!!!!

First ever awesome artists:

 These guys were renaissance artists. They started painting pictures of naked people during the renaissance. These were called nudes. WTF?

Hope I helped you :)
